    Removal of the Eye

    Artemis SHAW Prashanth KAMALAKANTHAN 2024 USA color 92min DCP
    New parents Ram and Kallia are at their wits' end with their sleepless baby Niko. Their world is further upended when Kallia's father suffers a freak accident, and they become primary caretakers for her ailing mother, Katerina, who lives downstairs. Convinced that the family's misfortunes have been caused by the evil eye, Katerina insists on performing an ancient exorcism to save the family, to Kallia and Ram's dismay. As chaos brews, the couple are tossed between the pressures of modern parenting, age-old superstitions, and the brutal market for creative work.
